In a stunning revelation from the world of reality television, Married At First Sight UK star Julia-Ruth has confirmed that a much-discussed date with fellow participant Steven never actually took place.
The Shocking Girls' Day Confession
The drama first erupted during a recent girls' day gathering on the E4 show. Julia-Ruth dropped a bombshell when she confessed to the other wives that she had been secretly texting Steven just two days after he had left the experiment. The conversation quickly turned to chaos as she further revealed they were planning to go on a date together.
This confession left the other women, particularly Sarah, absolutely gobsmacked. Meanwhile, Steven was telling a completely different story to the male cast members. He insisted the text exchange was purely platonic and claimed he had invited Julia-Ruth for drinks as part of a larger group catch-up with other cast members.
The Social Media Revelation
The plot thickened when Julia-Ruth took to her Instagram stories to set the record straight. She responded to a fan's comment which joked that Steven must be fuming he only got one drink with her, compared to the spontaneous holiday she took with Maeve's ex-husband, Joe.
To this, Julia-Ruth replied unequivocally, "He didn't even get the drink!! Can you imagine?" This simple statement confirmed suspicions that the entire planned rendezvous had fallen through before it even began.
This reference to her holiday with Joe added another layer to the scandal, as it was also revealed that the pair slept together during the trip, only for Joe to ghost her upon their return to the UK.
Contrasting Stories and Fallout
The original episode showed Julia-Ruth adamant about proving the text exchange was not one-sided. She told cameras she had screenshots ready, revealing that Steven had messaged her saying he could "see us during partner swap week" and that she would make pancakes for him.
In one particularly telling text read aloud, Steven had written, "You could have stolen me from her anyway." However, when confronted by Leah and Davide to show the messages, Steven refused, stating he was "bored of having to prove myself."
Since the episode aired, the participants have taken different approaches. While Julia-Ruth has been vocal on social media, Steven posted an Instagram story suggesting "not everything needs a response" and urged viewers to "keep watching" as the show continues.
Adding more fuel to the fire, Steven's ex-wife from the experiment, Nelly, shared on Instagram that she was "shocked but not surprised" by Julia-Ruth's actions, powerfully adding that "a woman’s intuition is powerful."
The entire situation continues to unfold, leaving Married At First Sight UK fans questioning what else might be revealed as the season progresses towards its conclusion.
